What are your thoughts on the rivalry that's developed between fans of StarCraft II and League of Legends?

What are your thoughts on League of Legends as a game?

What are your thoughts on how Red Bull has utilized livestreaming of their own events to connect with fans around the world?

I think it is a great concept. I really thank Red Bull for supporting eSports amongst many other sports, and for their interest in this community. I am also really happy that I am given the chance to communicate with my fans. It is my personal wish to see more eSports events like these, and for more companies like Red Bull to get involved in the eSports industry and see it grow.

Where do you hope eSports is five years from now?
